Abstract

Several compounds containing in the same molecule a hydrazyl moiety and a nitrone (or a nitroxide moiety) were characterised by different means, as visible spectroscopy, hydrophobicity, cyclic voltammetry, bond dissociation energy (BDE), electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR), and pKa values, in order to evaluate them as sensors and probes for monitoring acid-base, redox, and free radical processes.

Keywords: Nitrone, nitroxide, spin-trap, radical, hydrazyl, EPR
